- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Process the cauliflower in a food processor until it resembles rice; if using pre-riced cauliflower, skip this step.
- Bake the cauliflower rice for about 15 minutes or microwave for 8 minutes, then cool using cheesecloth to remove excess moisture.
- In a mixing bowl, combine dried cauliflower with the egg, cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper; mix well.
